SOURCE: Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Volume 2 revives Peace Walker, but lets other PSP-era games like Portable Ops fade away: "This game should be considered an integral part of the saga"

– Konami revealed Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Volume 2 at a recent presentation
– The collection confirms Metal Gear Solid 4 is being re-released outside its long-standing PS3 exclusivity
– Volume 2 includes the 2000 Game Boy Color game Ghost Babel
– Volume 2 includes the 2010 PSP title Peace Walker
– The Peace Walker build in Volume 2 is based on the version from the old HD Collection
– Portable Ops (2006, PSP) is not included in Volume 2
– Portable Ops is set after Metal Gear Solid 3 and bridges to Peace Walker and Metal Gear Solid V in series chronology
– Series lead had only minor involvement in Portable Ops, and the game is treated as semi-canon (fact from reporting)
– Portable Ops has never previously been ported and would require a new port to appear in the collection
– It’s unconfirmed whether Portable Ops might later appear as a bonus game, in Volume 3, or never be included
– Other Metal Gear titles mentioned as remaining for possible future volumes include the Acid games, Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain (and Ground Zeroes), and Metal Gear Survive
